Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values.  We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Our approach centres on safe, exploratory methods that aim to understand behaviour and experiences often rooted in trauma, abuse, and neglect. We deliver intensive therapeutic programs within educational and community settings, empowering young people to confront the underlying causes of their emotional distress and work toward healing.

To create lasting, sustainable change, we work to establish trauma-informed environments around young people by equipping parents, caregivers, educators, and other professionals with the tools they need to offer effective, supportive care. Currently, our services are active in London and Manchester.

We provide advocacy and information services to support people in making effective decisions about their health and social care. Our team is dedicated to listening, exploring options, and taking action to meet our clients' best interests.

We provide a full induction, training and equipment including a laptop and mobile phone.  It is a contractual requirement that all advocates hold or are working towards an advocacy qualification.  The most recognised qualification is the City and Guilds Level 4 Independent Advocacy Practice Qualification (IAP) for practising advocates, previously completed City and Guilds Level 3 National Advocacy Qualification (NAQ).  If you do not already hold an NAQ certificate or diploma or IAP qualification or equivalent, the expectation will be that you will gain the City and Guilds IAP qualification following successful completion of probation and pre-enrolment process. POhWER will fully sponsor this and provide a reasonable amount of study time and in return expect advocates to manage their time and complete within 12 months of registration.

We're proud to support our colleagues from the armed forces signing the Armed Forces Covenant in August 2024.

POhWER is an equal opportunities employer, holder of the Investors in People Silver award, and a member of the MINDFUL EMPLOYER scheme. We are a member of the Disability confidence scheme, and disabled applicants who meet all the essential criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

This is the perfect role for a senior fundraiser, who wants to use their skills and passion to create change in our local hospitals.

With experience of creating and nurturing relationships with major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners, your work will touch the hearts and minds of existing and new supporters and funders across Bristol, Weston and beyond. You’ll leave them with no option but to donate, sign up or join us in an exciting partnership.

Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity raises funds for all ten hospitals in the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW). Millions of patients pass through the doors each year and 15,000 NHS staff care for them.

We’re a busy, energetic charity, completely committed to bringing moments of joy, comfort and hope to those who need it most. This is the perfect role for a master communicator, who can deliver impactful and persuasive applications, appeals, pitches and presentations that create change.

The Philanthropy & Partnerships Manager plays a critical role in our small but high performing team. One week you’ll be working with colleagues to craft a new case for support or an ambitious application. The next you will be sharing the impact our funding has made, through amazing impact reports, heart-warming conversations, or emotive events.

If you find your heart singing when you hear about the amazing feats people undergo to improve the lives of others, or you feel inspired playing your part in improving the health and happiness of every patient cared for in our hospitals, then we think you’d better apply.

Working for a charity is great. Working for Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity is greater!
